My Albums of 2010!!
Grown Ups - More Songs
Listened to this album so many times, my iTunes count is through the roof. Melodic punk mixes with post-hardcore qualities to create songs so damn infectious you find yourself stuck in a traffic jam singing/shouting/screaming every gut wrenched word. I hope to see them in good old Blighty soon

The James Cleaver Quintet - Ten Stages of a Make Up
I remember listening to early recordings by these guys a while back on myspace, boy have they grown! Their intense style of jaw dropping spazz-punk with lashings of ‘math rock’ has become the stuff of legend!! This album (EP) is amazingly Big, Brutal and Bloody Breathtaking. Roll up, Roll up….
Pulled Apart By Horses - Self Titled
The First full length LP from the Leeds based Alternative Rockers who boast musical prowess and ULTIMATE POWER. This Heavy hitting 11-track monster is never too far away from my turntable and must be played once a week without fail.
The Cast Of Cheers - Chariot
Hailing from Ireland these men have made amazing songs…technical, upbeat and with a slight electronic undertone The Cast of Cheers shouldn’t be giving their Album away for free! I would happily of paid money for this 10-track stonker!

Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork
So much love for these guys. Maps & Atlases new album ‘Perch Patchwork’ is a beautifully perfect piece of musical genius, which will buzz around in your skull for months to come. Turns your car journey into a musical adventure.

Stornoway - Beachcomber’s Windowsill
I became crazily obsessed with the Oxford folk indie outfit at the start of the year when my brother courteously introduced me to a few selected numbers. I quickly jumped on the album and soon had a new favorite band! ‘Beachcomber’s Windowsill’ is a beautifully crafted masterpiece by a talented young group. I can’t wait for more…
Talons - Hollow Realm
The first full length from talons after a 7” and some lovely band splits. ‘Hollow Realm’ contains 8 amazingly epic songs that will move your bones! I haven’t had the pleasure of catching them live, but I can’t wait to see them in the New Year!
Tall Ships - Chemistry
A Smashing success and amazing follow up to there sell out debut. I know ‘Chemistry’ is only an EP but come on…. its a bloody triumph. If you haven’t heard Tall Ships, I plead you to see reason….
